“Whoop! Ronica! Come to your senses! You can do it!!”
Ronica, who was advancing through the labyrinth, suddenly slapped her cheeks with both hands.
It was to regain lost concentration.
Move the perimeter to prepare for traps and surprise attacks.
Since it was my first time, I couldn’t help but get tired easily.
I hope you adapt well.
“Length divided into 4 parts.”
Crossroads.
I quietly watched Ronica who stopped.
I was planning on letting him get through this on his own.
“I don’t know!”
The guy moved to the left again this time.
3 minutes like that.
‘hmm?’
I heard a subtle sound in my ear.
It’s not a trap.
This is the sound of a monster breathing.
‘Is it an orc? ‘You embody a trained orc warrior.’
Ronica still doesn’t know how to properly detect presence.
It might be a little dangerous.
“Koooh!!!”
As he continued to move forward, an orc warrior rose from the floor and swung his club.
“Ugh!?”
Fortunately, I was able to avoid the attack by staying alert.
However, no weapons were provided for the second trial.
In other words, you have to deal with monsters with your bare hands.
There are two numbers you can choose here.
escape.
fight.
You can aim for additional points by breaking through the labyrinth as quickly as possible without fighting, or if you can deal with the orcs with your bare hands, you can earn points by defeating them.
Ronika chose the latter.
“Hey!!”
An auror wrapped around his right hand.
The mana circuit itself strengthens the body, but the aura expressed in the body increases the effect several times more.
Thanks to the physical power of the auror itself, it can be used not only for attack but also for defense, and there are many who take this to the limit and even block sword skills or practice martial arts.
In other words, for someone who deals with Aurors, fighting Orcs is a fight worth trying at least once.
Ronica is strong enough even without cooperation.
Sigh!!
The orc’s club and Ronica’s fist collided.
The experienced orc warrior immediately swung his opposite hand menacingly.
But Ronica dug in again.
Attacks have an effective range.
When I taught Ronica how to walk, I taught this part first.
Like now, if you go deeper than the effective range of the attack, it may be difficult to avoid it, but even if you get hit instead, the impact is greatly reduced.
Ronica was well aware of it.
And if you use this.
chuck!
As soon as he got into his arms, he pushed the swung Orc’s left shoulder at an angle.
grasp!!
“Quick!?”
Right arm swinging.
Left shoulder pushed back.
As the two directions met, the center of the orc tilted to the left. In these cases, most people will support their left foot by putting their right foot behind them.
Ronica took advantage of that moment.
Swish!!
Lower your posture and place your left foot on the ground.
The range included the right foot, the central axis of the orc.
“Ugh!!”
dump.
The orc fell so easily that it was pointless.
All that remains now is clear suppression.
“Housing!!!!”
puck! puck!! puck!!!
“Gaaaa!!!”
A fist filled with aura crushes the orc’s face.
Soon, the orc, unable to fight, faded away and turned into a small green bead.
“Hee hee. I did it. Black guy!!”
That’s great.
Kuuk~
When he gestured for praise, he pressed his cheek once to show that he had done well.
“Ehehe~”
The guy picked up the marble with a happy smile.
The magic core that supported the Orc illusion.
If you escape the labyrinth with this, you will be given extra points.
There was nothing to help.
Ronica went through the labyrinth smoothly.
*
“Oh, help me there!! Stop by mistake… .”
It’s been a while since I walked down the aisle.
A boy trapped in the net struggled and stopped Ronica. When I looked at the ceiling, it seemed to be connected to the threads on the floor to capture the target.
Ronika also understood the situation and approached the child.
“Thank you. I won’t forget this grace-”
“What are you talking about? I didn’t say I would save you?”
“That!… .”
Ronica tilted her head and slyly held out her hand to the boy.
“Badge.”
It’s a good decision.
Thanks to Hysterion’s training, Ronica was well aware of the actions she should take in the current situation.
Because simply releasing someone who may be your enemy is not a good deed, but foolishness.
“… … It’s here.”
“Yes. I’ll let you go.”
A badge was held out through the net.
Ronica, who received the badge, opened the net and held it so she could come out.
“That’s stupid! Now give me my badge back!!”
The freed one turned and rushed at him.
He thought he could overpower Ronica, who seemed weak. However, Ronika lightly dodged the fist and yanked her wrist as if she had expected it.
“Ugh!!”
Clap!
A child who easily falls over.
Ronica shook her head and said.
“I could see the greed on my face from the moment I handed out my badge. Let’s try to live a good life now.”
“What?… … .”
puck!!
“Ugh!?… .”
Contrary to what I thought, I was punched in the face without any mercy.
The child who got up hit the ground again.
With that, Ronica wiped her hands and walked lightly down the aisle again.
I am satisfied.
Didn’t he grow up pretty strong?
But suddenly a question arises.
‘Why did you let them go even though you knew they would attack?’
I wish I had just received a badge and gone.
I do not know.
The way Ronika treats people.
Even though I had read in advance that the boy was going to come out, was it just for confirmation that I released him?
No, did I understand the boy just by feeling?
Do you want to hit me hard?
Let’s think about it.
Until now, those whom Ronika had done good deeds had never committed any act of betrayal.
Rowan.
Even though he could live alone during the war with Rosetta, he risked his life to protect Ronica.
Hysterion.
Even though he could steal the cure and make more money if he wanted, he supported Ronica even by going against the lord and taking losses.
The people Ronika gave affection to were very close-knit.
The girl I met earlier, Fiona, would be like that too.
I find this fascinating.
I thought that by giving like that, one day I would get hit hard in the back and regret it, gaining experience, but I have never had that happen yet.
“Kang.”
“Huh? Do you have something to say?”
So I asked.
What is your standard for doing good deeds?
In “… .”
Then the guy stopped for a moment, thought about it, and answered:
“Do you like the color?”
“Keying?”
“Rowen is a judgmental fiery blue. Hysterion’s grandfather is pink hidden in gray. Fiona is a miserable blue trapped in the sky. Is that what it feels like?”
Are you saying it feels good?
however… Hysterion is pink?
“Ehehehe. The black man’s face crumpled. But it’s not a lie. It’s my secret I’m telling you because I’m black!”
“Kuhhh… .”
I don’t think so.
Because from the first time I saw him, he was acting incomprehensibly.
It was strange that he showed me favor.
He was completely hidden, but he kept bringing me bread… .
If that is an ability, then it is an ability.
“Ehehe.”
Ronica smiled as she looked at me and then muttered in a whisper.
“And… I like black.”
A quiet black that covers everything.
I took a step back.

◎︎ Evil detection is strong.
Feeling a little uncomfortable.
While exploring the labyrinth, I had the feeling that someone would appear and bother me.
“Hey. Stop there.”
“Huh?”
At the same time, five children appeared from the aisle.
Ronica checked the children she had stopped. They were all prosecutors who used their bodies.
Five people lined up blocking the passage.
It seemed difficult to avoid and pass by.
One of them came forward and held out his palm.
“Give me your badge and I’ll let you through here.”
Normally, people would work together to break through the labyrinth, but on the contrary, these were people who formed cooperation to extort points from those who broke through.
This is a very common strategy.
It’s something I’ve experienced so many times in the tower that I’m glad to see it.
But what about Ronica?
“Umm… .”
Most of the labyrinth test participants are children who play a part. Even Ronica would have a hard time dealing with 5 people alone.
In this case, it’s better to go another way.
Perhaps because Ronica knew that, she turned around without hesitation.
“There are many roads anyway!”
“Chet. run away Catch it!!”
“There!!”
If you ask for help, they can handle it quickly, but I quit because I saw the will to do it on my own until the end.
Be strong, my disciple!
“Why are you so fast?… .”
“panting… On the outside, it didn’t look like anything special.”
Running away was easy.
As I say every time, Ronica is fast.
Even if you reach the same 3-star level, running away is easy.
In this way, he used his own judgment to avoid danger and continued to explore the labyrinth.
Traps and surprise attacks become increasingly familiar.
Every once in a while, when they were in crisis, I helped them for a while.
If you continue like this, you will be able to escape the labyrinth with ease.
But… .
◎︎ Malice detection is strongly activated.
When is that guy going to attack me?
This is the sign that secretly followed me when I was running into the five kids earlier. Since a while ago, not even rats or birds have been hiding and watching over Ronica.
It’s quite a distance away, but you can’t fool me.
He appears to be quite capable.
It is by no means at the level of the children here.
Are you a test instructor?
Was it simply for testing purposes?
No, it’s too blatant.
Maybe they’re trying to interfere with the test. Ronica has a pretty coveted score.
◎︎ Detection of evil reacts strongly.
okay.
I have a strong feeling.
I don’t know for what purpose, but someone is planning a bad prank on Ronica.
Just looking at his ability to hide his presence is extraordinary.
Evelyn Training Center… .
It’s definitely a great place, but it can’t be as clean as a place where people live.
The higher the reputation, the greater the authority.
Of course, there are quite a few people who live for that.
It must be difficult for the student to overcome the difficulties on his own.
This is how I want it… .
I guess I have no choice but to step forward.
*
Instructor Tiana looked at the target carefully.
Instructor intervention in testing is very dangerous. No matter how many high-ranking nobles there are behind them, they cannot completely cover this.
Never get caught.
Let’s be careful.
That’s why he followed the young girl.
No matter how much of a test participant he is, he is a person who has cleared the first stage of the labyrinth test. Even if he is not trained, it is a skill that can be acquired somewhere.
So, as a result of what I observed.
“Chet. run away Catch it!!”
“There!!”
The instructor let out a small sigh of joy.
Even though he has such outstanding skills, he runs away from the five kids who block his path?
What this means is simple.
‘I overdid it on the first test.’
Probably mana depletion.
I don’t even have the strength left to deal with kids like that.
If so, it would be easier to commit the perfect crime by knocking him out at once.
The operation was planned.
What should I do to leave as little trace as possible?
‘Use the trap of the labyrinth.’
The path the girl is currently walking through has a trap with a structure that falls down.
Because the bottom of the pit is paved to look like an ordinary road, it is a trap that many people fall into while passing by without notice.
There is a device to reduce falling, so there is no risk of injury, but monsters appear below.
A hell section where you lose points if you don’t block.
Originally, if you deal with the monster or allow ten attacks, a way out will appear… .
He won’t be able to get out.
Because when you fight a monster, it will secretly stun you. People fainting after being hit by a real-looking monster is not a problem as it is one of the accidents that occurs every year.
Next, all you have to do is have Prince Avalon visit this place and make a note.
That’s why I kept an eye on the girl.
The point where a trap soon appears.
Stop.
“Hmm… Don’t you think there’s something strange in front of here?”
The girl stopped and quietly looked at the floor. He realized the trap.
In that case, you have to make sure you fall into the trap first.
‘I’m sorry, but you won’t be eliminated because your basic score is high. ‘Sacrifice a little.’
Simple magic.
“ᚢᛁᛚᚨ.”
wind
Wow-
The wind gave the girl a slight push.
Anyone who didn’t notice this should now move in front of the trap.
Whilick~
The wind dispersed.
‘what?… .’
Disappeared as soon as it occurred?
Even if you break it down with reverse calculations, it is an absurd speed.
Moreover, the girl was still looking down at the trap with an expression of ignorance on her face.
It didn’t seem like he realized the attack.
Then why was the magic canceled?
Suddenly, my eyes fell on the baby animal on my shoulder.
Could it be that this beast did it?
‘No way.’
There’s something about it that makes me uncomfortable, but… .
It doesn’t matter though.
I was planning on approaching anyway.
All you have to do is push the girl down before she crosses the trap.
“ᚺᚢᚾᛟᚨᛃ ᛒᛖᚱᚾᚨᛃ.”
Welcome change.
Just in case, I made myself look like a girl of the participant’s age. Even if I fail, I can get away with this appearance without raising any suspicion.
There will be no setbacks with this.
“ᛈᚨᚲᛒᛆᛚᛃᛁᛊᛁᛃᚾ ᛘᚢᛘᚾᛚᛃᛁᛗ.”
Explosive movement.
Tadat!!
I temporarily increased my agility and quickly walked up behind the girl.
‘hmm?… .’
At this time, I felt a question.
This is because the beast on the girl’s shoulder disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly where?… .
An inexplicable feeling of discomfort.
I had to see it at that moment.
A cat punch coming from the diagonal line.
‘What?… .’
What the heck!!!!!
“… !!!?!!?!”
The powerful shock returned my vision.
When he realized it, he had already passed the girl and was falling into the trap area.
‘… why?… … .’
It was from this time.
Life is twisted.
